On the North Carolina News Roundup...

Debate over Helene recovery funds continues. Governor Josh Stein is calling for more help from the federal government. President Trump says the governor is unfit to run a state. Congress has still yet to act on the state’s request for more than $11 billion in relief.

Groups of students across the country are walking out of their classrooms Friday to bring attention to gun violence in schools.

And the latest on Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools where a massive budget hole has led to layoffs.

Due South co-host Jeff Tiberii and a panel of journalists cover the week in NC news.
